Abstract
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS) join amino acids to their cognate transfer RNAs, establishing an essential coding relationship in translation. To investigate the mechanism of aminoacyl transfer in class II Escherichia coli histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HisRS), we devised a rapid quench assay. Under single turnover conditions with limiting tRNA, aminoacyl transfer proceeds at 18.8 s(-)(1), whereas in the steady state, the overall rate of aminoacylation is limited by amino acid activation to a rate of 3 s(-)(1). In vivo, this mechanism may serve to allow the size of amino acid pools and energy charge to control the rate of aminoacylation and thus protein synthesis. Aminoacyl transfer experiments using HisRS active site mutants and phosphorothioate-substituted adenylate showed that substitution of the nonbridging Sp oxygen of the adenylate decreased the transfer rate at least 10 000-fold, providing direct experimental evidence for the role of this group as a general base for the reaction. Other kinetic experiments revealed that the rate of aminoacyl transfer is independent of the interaction between the carboxyamide group of Gln127 and the alpha-carboxylate carbon, arguing against the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate during the aminoacyl transfer. These experiments support a substrate-assisted concerted mechanism for HisRS, a feature that may generalize to other aaRS, as well as the peptidyl transferase center.

Abstract
TRAP (trp RNA-binding attenuation protein) is an 11 subunit RNA-binding protein that regulates expression of genes involved in tryptophan metabolism (trp) in Bacillus subtilis in response to changes in intracellular tryptophan concentration. When activated by binding up to 11 tryptophan residues, TRAP binds to the mRNAs of several trp genes and down-regulates their expression. Recently, a TRAP mutant was found that binds RNA in the absence of tryptophan. In this mutant protein, Thr30, which is part of the tryptophan-binding site, is replaced with Val (T30V). We have compared the RNA-binding properties of T30V and wild-type (WT) TRAP, as well as of a series of hetero-11-mers containing mixtures of WT and T30V TRAP subunits. The most significant difference between the interaction of T30V and WT TRAP with RNA is that the affinity of T30V TRAP is more dependent on ionic strength. Analysis of the hetero-11-mers allowed us to examine how subunits interact within an 11-mer with regard to binding to tryptophan or RNA. Our data suggest that individual subunits retain properties similar to those observed when they are in homo-11-mers and that individual G/UAG triplets within the RNA can bind to TRAP differently.

Abstract
A two-metal-ion catalytic mechanism has previously been proposed for several phosphoryl-transfer enzymes. In order to extend the structural basis of this mechanism, crystal structures of three single-stranded DNA substrates bound to the 3'-5' exonucleolytic active site of the large fragment of DNA polymerase I from Escherichia coli have been elucidated. The first is a 2.1 A resolution structure of a Michaelis complex between the large fragment (or Klenow fragment, KF) and a single-stranded DNA substrate, stabilized by low pH and flash-freezing. The positions and identities of the catalytic metal ions, a Zn2+ at site A and a Mg2+ at site B, have been clearly established. The structural and kinetic consequences of sulfur substitutions in the scissile phosphate have been explored. A complex with the Rp isomer of phosphorothioate DNA, refined at 2.2 A resolution, shows Zn2+ bound to both metal sites and a mispositioning of the substrate and attacking nucleophile. The complex with the Sp phosphorothioate at 2. 3 A resolution reveals that metal ions do not bind in the active site, having been displaced by a bulky sulfur atom. Steady-state kinetic experiments show that catalyzed hydrolysis of the Rp isomer was reduced only about 15-fold, while no enzyme activity could be detected with the Sp phosphorothioate, consistent with the structural observations. Furthermore, Mn2+ could not rescue the activity of the exonuclease on the Sp phosphorothioate. Taken together, these studies confirm and extend the proposed two-metal-ion exonuclease mechanism and provide a structural context to explain the effects of sulfur substitutions on this and other phosphoryl-transfer enzymes. These experiments also suggest that the possibility of metal-ion exclusion be taken into account when interpreting the results of Mn2+ rescue experiments.

Abstract
The structure of Escherichia coli glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase complexed with tRNA2Gln and ATP refined at 2.5-A resolution reveals structural details of the catalytic center and allows description of the specific roles of individual amino acid residues in substrate binding and catalysis. The reactive moieties of the ATP and tRNA substrates are positioned within hydrogen-bonding distance of each other. Model-building has been used to position the glutamine substrate in an adjacent cavity with its reactive carboxylate adjacent to the alpha-phosphate of ATP; the interactions of the carboxyamide side chain suggest a structural rationale for the way in which the enzyme discriminates against glutamate. The binding site for a manganese ion has also been identified bridging the beta- and gamma-phosphates of the ATP. The well-known HIGH and KMSKS sequence motifs interact directly with each other as well as with the ATP, providing a structural rationale for their simultaneous conservation in all class I synthetases. The KMSKS loop adopts a well-ordered and catalytically productive conformation as a consequence of interactions made with the proximal beta-barrel domain. While there are no protein side chains near the reaction site that might function in acid-base catalysis, the side chains of two residues, His43 and Lys270, are positioned to assist in stabilizing the expected pentacovalent intermediate at the alpha-phosphate. Transfer of glutamine to the 3'-terminal tRNA ribose may well proceed by intramolecular catalysis involving proton abstraction by a phosphate oxygen atom of glutaminyl adenylate. Catalytic competence of the crystalline enzyme is directly shown by its ability to hydrolyze ATP and release pyrophosphate when crystals of the ternary complex are soaked in mother liquor containing glutamine.

Abstract
1. Monovalent-cation [(CH3)4N+, K(I), Na(I)] ATP, 1 mM in nucleotide, in aqueous solutions at pH 7.2, 24 degrees C, generates 2 different 31P NMR spectra, depending upon the salt content of the solution. At salt concentrations below 10 mM, the 31P NMR signals are chemically-shifted upfield (Na salt: alpha, -11.44 delta; beta, -22.91 delta; gamma, -8.36 delta) and the beta- and gamma-groups are broadened (at half-height: alpha, 3.5 Hz; beta, 9.6 Hz; gamma, 69 Hz). Above 10 mM salt, the signals are shifted downfield and are narrow (Na salt: alpha, -11.09 delta, 1.9 Hz; beta, -21.75 delta, 3.3 Hz; gamma, -6.30 delta, 3.9 Hz). 2. The Na-Mg-ATP complex, corresponding to the composition Na6Mg1ATP2, yields a single set of 31P resonances at concentrations of nucleotide of 100 mM, that upon dilution to 0.2 mM, resolve into 2 sets of ATP resonances characterized by low-field and high-field beta- and gamma-group resonance pairs. This set of ATP resonances, in contrast to the resonance set at 100 mM ATP, are broad (100 mM in ATP: alpha, -10.7 delta, 3.7 Hz; beta, -20.1 delta, 15 Hz; gamma, -5.7 delta, 7.3 Hz. 0.2 mM in ATP: alpha, -10.7 delta, 47 Hz; beta, -18.8 and -21.6 delta, 316 and 274 Hz; gamma, -5.5 and -8.7 delta, 460 and 374 Hz). 3. This new data, in combination with data derived from a survey of metal-ion-ATP studies, are interpreted in terms of ATP dimers, incorporating 2 molecules of ATP and 2 metal cations, that exist in water under the physiological conditions of neutral pH, high salt content [135 mM K(I)] and ATP concentrations in the range of 3 mM. 4. A compilation of 31P in vivo and ex vivo data compared to a reference Mg-ATP chemical shift vs Mg/ATP ratio plot indicates that ATP is not fully Mg-saturated in living systems and that 41% exists as the Mg(ATP)2 complex.

Abstract
Pre-steady-state kinetic analyses on the formation of tyrosyl adenylate from tyrosine and each of the four diastereomers of alpha- and beta-phosphorothioate adenosine triphosphates [ATP alpha S and ATP beta S; Eckstein, F., & Goody, R. (1976) Biochemistry 15, 1685-1691; Yee, D., Armstrong, V. W., & Eckstein, F. (1979) Biochemistry 18, 4116-4123] were performed in the presence of Mg2+, Co2+, and Cd2+ as the divalent metal ion cofactor. A modest preference of 5.5-fold in kappa 3/KA' (where kappa 3 is the rate constant for tyrosyl adenylate formation and KA' is the dissociation constant for ATP, or phosphorothioate ATP, from the E.Tyr.metal.ATP complex) for the Sp ATP alpha S diastereomer and the absence of an inversion of preference when the metal ion is changed suggest that there is a stereospecific enzyme-alpha-phosphate interaction and that there is no direct metal ion interaction with the alpha-phosphate. The extent of reaction of the ATP alpha S diastereomers (30-50%) implies that these analogues are more susceptible to the hydrolytic site reaction previously reported for this enzyme [Wells, T. N. C., & Fersht, A. R. (1986) Biochemistry 25, 1881-1886]. The strong preference in kappa 3/KA' for the RP ATP beta S diastereomer (16-fold for Mg2+ and 50-fold for Co2+) is indicative of a stereospecific interaction with the pro SP beta oxygen of ATP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The stereochemical configurations of the Mn(II) complexes with the resolved epimers of adenosine 5'-O-(1-thiodiphosphate) (ADP alpha S), bound at the active site of creatine kinase, have been determined in order to assess the relative strengths of enzymic stereoselectivity versus Lewis acid/base preferences in metal-ligand binding. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) data have been obtained for Mn(II) in anion-stabilized, dead-end (transition-state analogue) complexes, in ternary enzyme-MnIIADP alpha S complexes, and in the central complexes of the equilibrium mixture. The modes of coordination of Mn(II) at P alpha in the nitrate-stabilized, dead-end complexes with each epimer of ADP alpha S were ascertained by EPR measurements with (Rp)-[alpha-17O]ADP alpha S and (Sp)-[alpha-17O]ADP alpha S. The EPR spectrum for the complex with (Rp)-[alpha-17O]ADP alpha S showed inhomogeneous broadening due to unresolved superhyperfine coupling from coordinated 17O at P alpha. By contrast, the EPR spectrum for Mn(II) in complex with (Sp)-[alpha-17O]ADP alpha S is indistinguishable from that obtained for a matched sample with unlabeled (Sp)-ADP alpha S. A reduction in the magnitude of the 55Mn hyperfine coupling constant in the spectrum for the complex containing (Sp)-ADP alpha S is indicative of Mn(II)-thio coordination at P alpha.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
It has been shown recently by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) that phospholipase A2 (PL A2) from bee venom shows a high degree of stereoselectivity toward the "isomer B" of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-thiophosphocholine (DPPsC) [Bruzik, K., Jiang, R.-T., & Tsai, M.-D. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 2478-2486]. We now report a quantitative kinetic study of PL A2 using 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and (RP)-, (SP)-, and (RP + SP)-DPPsC by a spectrophotometric assay. The substrates were mixed with Triton X-100 to form mixed micelles, and steady-state kinetic theories were applied. The enzyme was activated by Ca2+, which induced a conformational change of the enzyme, as shown by UV difference spectra. The apparent dissociation constant of Ca2+/PL A2 is 2.5 mM. In the presence of Ca2+, large substrate specificity and stereospecificity in Vmax (in mumol min-1 mg-1) were observed: DPPC, 1850; (RP)-DPPsC, 7.6; (RP + SP)-DPPsC, 64; (SP)-DPPsC, 0.044. On the other hand, relatively small variation in Km was observed, which suggests that the interfacial interaction is relatively nonspecific among the substrates studied. (SP)-DPPsC and Cd2+ were shown as competitive inhibitors for the hydrolysis of DPPC by Ca2+/PL A2. Binding of Cd2+ with apo-PL A2 was also demonstrated by UV difference spectra, with a dissociation constant of 0.59 mM. Activation of apo-PL A2 by Cd2+ was unequivocally demonstrated for (SP)-DPPsC by use of 31P NMR. The Vmax values of Cd2+/PL A2 were DPPC/(RP)-DPPsC/(SP)-DPPsC = 17.6/0.069/0.0044 mumol min-1 mg-1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The geometry of the Me2+. GTP complex at the active site of EF-Tu from Bacillus stearothermophilus has been investigated using thiophosphate analogs of GTP to inhibit the kirromycin-induced GTPase reaction at 60 mM NH4Cl. There is no reversed selectivity for the diastereomers (Rp and Sp) of guanosine 5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphate) (GTP[alpha S]) on replacing Mg2+ by Cd2+, so that the observed specifity for the Sp isomer must be due to an interaction of the pro-R oxygen of the alpha-phosphate group with the protein. With the diastereomers of GTP[beta S] low specifity for the Rp isomers is seen in the presence of Mg2+. Moreover, both isomers are very weakly bound. In contrast, substitution of Mg2+ by Cd2+ results in a high specifity for the Sp isomer, and this is then recognized as well as Cd X GTP. These results indicate that in the EF-Tu X Me2+ X GTP complex, the pro-S oxygen of the beta-phosphate group is bound to the metal ion and the pro-R oxygen to the protein. GTP[gamma S] is a good analog of GTP regardless of the nature of the metal ion, suggesting that not all of the oxygens of the gamma-phosphate are involved in interactions to metal ion and protein. The thiophosphate analogs of GTP were also tested for their efficiency in ternary complex formation with EF-Tu and aminoacyl-tRNA and in the physiological GTPase of EF-Tu. The stereochemistry of the GTP binding site on EF-Tu in all three systems is found to be very similar.

Abstract
The diastereomers of adenosine 5'-O-(2-thiotriphosphate) (ATP beta S) in the presence of Mg2+, Co2+ and Cd2+ have been used to determine the stereospecificity of the metal-nucleotide binding site of rat muscle hexokinase type II and rat liver glucokinase by the method developed by Jaffe and Cohn [J. Biol. Chem. 254, 10839-10845 (1979)]. The kinetic parameters, Km and V, for the mammalian hexokinase reaction have been determined for ATP beta S in the presence of the three divalent metal ions. In the presence of Mg2+, both enzymes exhibit a preference for the B diastereomer of ATP beta S (V ratio, B/A approximately equal to 20). With Cd+, the stereospecificity is reversed and the A diastereomer is the preferred substrate, suggesting direct coordination of S on the beta-P to this metal ion. Co2+ exhibits a decreased specificity for the B diastereomer over Mg2+. This decreasing order of stereo-specificity for the B isomer reflects primarily the decreasing ratios of nucleotide complexes coordinated to O rather than S on the beta-P as the metal ion is changed from Mg2+ to Co2+ to Cd2+. The kinetic parameters for the hexokinases have also been determined for adenosine 5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphate) (ATP alpha S) using the same three metal ions as activators. The A diastereomer is the preferred substrate regardless of the metal ion. This absence of reversal of stereospecificity for metal-ATP alpha S suggests that the alpha-P is not involved in coordinating the metal on the enzyme, unlike the beta-P. That is, the structural constraints of the ATP-binding site on the enzyme overcome the preferred coordination of Cd2+ to S. Given the greater stability of bidentate metal-ATP complexes over monodentate, these data are interpreted as indicating that MgATP binds to the mammalian hexokinases as the beta gamma-bidentate complex in the A screw sense geometry, as has been found for the yeast hexokinase (Jaffe and Cohn, reference cited above).

Abstract
As is found by atomic absorption spectroscopy, the highly purified bovine tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase contains up to 0.9 mol Zn2+/mol enzyme while some other bivalent metal ions are absent. The enzyme is inactivated either upon treatment with 1,10-phenanthroline (a zinc-chelating agent) or upon prolonged dialysis (which eliminates bound Zn2+ ions); addition of zinc reactivates the enzyme. Exposed histidine residue(s) and carboxylic group(s) of the enzyme are involved in the Zn2+ binding, as is shown using chemical modification. Circular dichroism spectra suggest that elimination of Zn2+ ions affects the tertiary rather than the secondary structure of the tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase. The kinetics of inhibition with 1,10-phenanthroline toward ATP, tryptophan and tRNATrp indicates that removal of zinc prevents the ATP binding to the enzyme.
